Portalino RSO Mechanical Ship Unloader - Buhler - #1

Text version of the page

2 3 4 5 Investment promising success The Buhler Portalino is a mechanical ship unloader designed for effi cient unloading of grain, oilseeds, derivatives, and non-freefl owing bulk materials. Its unloading throughputs are as high as 330 metric tons per hour (t/h), depending on the fl ow characteristics of the bulk material. The Portalino is distinguished by its high degree of mobility and availability as well as by its outstanding cost-to-benefi t ratio. Design and application The Portalino is a self-propelled or stationary mechanical ship unloader powered by a diesel or electric drive. It is preferably applied for unloading ship sizes of 20,000 to 40,000 DWT. Rail-mounted or steerable rubber-tired traveling gears are available. The Portalino is applied wherever existing quay facilities do not allow any permanent installations. The material unloaded is transferred to downstream conveying systems or directly into rail or road vehicles. Buhler – your partner As a global technology group active in the fi eld of grain handling – supplying everything from individual machines to turnkey grain handling systems – Buhler is always available to its customers: • as an advisor before investment decisions, • as a manufacturer of components at its own production sites, • as an experienced installation and start-up team, • and as a trainer of customers’ personnel. A reliable, global customer service ensures dependable operation and high availability of the systems supplied. Gentle conveying of bulk materials The bulk material is conveyed in the form of a compact column at a uniformly low speed up the marine leg, resulting in gentle conveying action. Effi cient unloading The automatic sink-in feature of the HL-SKT allows the optimal position of the unloading boot to be maintained in the bulk material. It also enables automatic unloading down to the minimum bulk material level inside the ship’s hold. The possible movements such as: – moving the ship unloader – lifting, lowering and swiveling the boom – kick-in/kick-out of the marine leg produce a large working range inside the ship’s hold. These movements may also be performed by radio remote control. This increases the unloading throughputs and reduces ship berthing times. High availability and reliability – Dependable operation even when material characteristics change – Low sensitivity to foreign matter – Fast chain link changes – Easy operation – Proven technology based on matured machine elements Hydraulic system A centralized hydraulic unit supplies the most important users with energy. The unit is incorporated in an insulated cabin. All components are optimally protected, and lateral service openings facilitate maintenance. The hydraulic drives offer the following advantages: • Gentle starting and braking • Overload valves provide protection against chain fraction • Short time reversal of the conveying chain is possible • Easy adjustment of the chain speed Low operating costs • Low conveying chain speeds • Low energy consumption • Low wear and tear • Low spare parts requirement • Long life cycle, and especially long service life of the conveying chains Reliable operation The PLC control system with visualization allows operating and fault messages to be displayed.
